54th Table Top Tuesday-Spring Cloche Party Reminder

Welcome to the 54th Table Top Tuesday. I so look forward to all of your wonderful vignettes. I have a

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I am on my way to Oregon to help take care of my grandson who was hurt in a skiing accident. He broke both legs. They put rods and pins in both legs and he is going to be fine. My son just needs a little help taking care of him at home. I will have limited time to make the rounds, however I will check in when I can. I have a post scheduled for next week so the party will go on as usual. I also have one scheduled for the Spring Cloche Party. I look forward to visiting everyone when I get back.

OK, on with the party.

This vignette on the drop leaf table by my chair has been here for a while, so time to change it up.

Love my Rooster lamp I found at GW and the Honey Bunch book is one of my favorites. The old doorknob is off of the farmhouse that I was born in. A precious treasure.

I'm so in the mood for spring, so I thought I would change it out and add a few flowers.

I like to keep it really simple so there's plenty of room for a snack and something to drink.

My thrifty cache pot worked great for some garage sale lime colored hydrangeas. The little brass apple I've had for years.

A decorating book that I'm re-reading and of course my reading glasses with a little bling.

Just a touch of sunshine to this corner.

Don't forget we're having a Spring Cloche Party on March 11th. Click on my button on the sidebar for all the details, then grab the button for your sidebar and tell all your friends. We always have so much fun. I can't wait to see you there.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits and I love your comments. Be sure to visit as many of the links as possible. I know you will be inspired.

Oh Marty! I am so sorry to hear about your grandson's accident. How fortunate your family is that you can be there to help them. I wish you a safe trip and your grandson a speedy and full recovery! God Bless you all.

Sending special hugs to Oregon for your grandson's recovery Marty. We went through this with our son when he was 19.It is hard for the patient and hard for the caregivers too. My son often speaks of the love that surrounded him during those dark months and how it meant so much to him.

Marty, I am so sorry about your grandson! I am glad he is going to be ok but I can not imagine breaking both my legs. At least it is just Oregon, my niece had a ski accident in France last yr with a head injury..what a nightmare at least my brother in law is a MD, she is fine now.I am sure he will be glad to see his grandmother!

I can not believe that you found that great rooster lamp at GW, Marty! What a find! I'm with you on bringing a little bit of Spring and sunshine into our homes now. I just filled one of my apothecary jars with something that I keep out now through the Summer {which I'll probably include in the cloche party}. Looking forward to that cloche party. I've been thinking about what I could put under mine!

My friend, I am so sorry to hear that your grandson was injured in a skiing accident! Just wanted to leave you a note to let you know that he is definitely in my prayers, dear friend! Also...prayers for you...for safe travels to Oregon! Thinking of you...

I am so sorry to hear about your grandson. Sounds like something I would do on the slopes. I hung up my skis before I could do any real damage. I hope he heals quickly and you have an enjoyable visit with your family.Cindy

Marty I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson. That's awful! But thankfully the young do heal quickly. I've broken both my legs (not at the same time) and it's not fun!On a completely different note your corner of the livingroom looks so happy and sunny! Now if the weather would only follow suit? *winks* I'm joining your party for the first time...I'm kinda taking license with the table top thing...But I have a table with stuff on it. So I hope it counts *winks* Vanna

So sorry to hear about your grandson. Both legs !! He must have hit a tree. Bless his heart. I will pray all goes well and he has a full recovery. I know it is going to really be hard for awhile, tho.We'll see you when you return.

Oh Marty, I'm so sorry about your grandson's accident. I know your son and grandson will both be so glad to see you arrive to help. You'll probably be vignetting at their house! I even do it in hotel rooms. Anything looks great with that wonderful rooster lamp. The Nina Campbell book looks like a great read, but I have a feeling you're not sitting around flipping pages in it often. You are so busy. Take care of you while you're taking care of your grandson. Keeping y'all in my prayers. Hugs, laurie

So sorry to hear about your grandson. My daughter is going skiing this weekend for the first time and now I am nervous! Thanks for the linky party! I am your newest follower and would love for you to follow me too. Come visit!

Hi Marty! I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson. Bless his heart and I'm so thankful to know he's going to be alright. I know your son will so appreciate you being there to help out. Take all the time you need.Blessings,Shelia ;)

Marty so sorry to hear about your grandson.. hope he feels better soon. You scored at GW! I love roosters and those lamps are sooo expensive. I love your table. Grandmother's can be such a special help.. I just spent two weeks with my granddaughter in the hospital.. it is a blessing to be able to help them when they need you.

Oh Marty dear, so sorry about your grandson. I will right away start praying for your dear grandson. Hope things are better, and for a quick recovery as he is young. Do keep us up to date. Have a safe trip.I just joined your party. Your vignette is beautiful with the rooster lamp and your door knob memories. God bless.FABBY

Oh Dear Marty,So sorry about your grandson. I hope he mends very quickly. Your such a good Grandma to go help out!I love your pretty vignette! That rooster lamp is calling my name and I love the soft springy glow!Big Hugs,Cindy

What a caring and compassionate mom and grandma you are to drop everything and rush to your grandson's side. I'm sure your son will appreciate your support at a time like this and I know your grandson will be in good hands. Lovely vignette you've created on your end table. That book looks like something I'd like to have close by to read too. I love how you said you left room for a "snack" - now that's getting your decorating priorities right!

Marty I am so sorry about your grandson..I pray he heals quickly and I'm sure having you as a private nurse and caretaker will do wonders for him!

I love that lamp...I just couldn't take my eyes off it! The whole setting is gorgeous but that lamp...oh my word you could throw a sack of taters on the table and it would be designer perfect with that lamp! lol Love ya sweetie...Picket

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson's accident. He will recover much faster because of Grandma's love and care, I'm sure. I'm in Oregon - wish I knew where you were. You might be close by. Who knows?~Adrienne~

Marty,Oh, dear friend, I am so sorry to hear of your grandson's accident. You and your family will be in our prayers! Take care and just give those two ( son & grandson) all the love you can give! Best medicine, ever! Keep us informed!Fondly,Pat

Oh My Marty, My prayers are with your grandson for a speedy recovery. How sad for him to be down like this. Have a safe trip Dear!Love your little side table vignette... I REALLY liked it before too. LOVE that door knob and it's Meaning to you! SO WONDERFUL! Hugs to you,Donna

Marty, just read your post. Will be praying for him. How scary, so glad that he will be ok. Glad he is alive and in time will walk again. Praise God for that. You will be a great comfort to the family and this will be a time to grow even closer.Will keep you as well in my prayers.Blessings,Debbie
